Reptilian Warlords

What an astonishing year this has been for death metal. While mainstream metal media outlets continue to froth over all manner of shiny, new things that have virtually fuck all to do with heavy metal on any meaningful level, the genre kick-started by POSSESSED and DEATH all those decades ago continu...

The Shadow Inside

For those that worship at the dual altars of thrash and death metal, SADUS are an unassailable benchmark. The Californians' first three albums — "Illusions" (1988),&nbsp "Swallowed In Black" (1990) and "A Vision of Misery" (1992) — are all stone-cold classics, and even though their output fizzled to...

Kingdom's Death

When winter starts to beckon with its frosty talons, crushing doom metal really starts to come into its own. A new force to be reckoned with, ACID THRONE make music that unfolds like a carpet of snow, burying light, hope and life along the way. A traditional three-piece with a sound that owes enough...

Shatter and Fall

Released in the midst of a global pandemic, HINAYANA's "Death Of The Cosmic" EP was full of morbid promise, but was also undeniably scuppered by circumstance. Observant folk that love to wallow in epic misery will have noticed that the Texas quintet had already moved beyond the solid but unremarkabl...

This Heathen Land

Black Mirror

Italy's MORTUARY DRAPE has been driving its occult-obsessed black metal for almost four decades, and its sole original member, Wildness Perversion, continues to carry the spectral torch.

Ashes, Organs, Blood And Crypts

Still building up speed as they hurtle towards the grave, AUTOPSY have conjured another batch of obnoxious outbursts, barely a year after the release of last year's "Morbidity Triumphant".
